Case Studies

Residential water loss cleanup

Location: Wentzville, MS 63385

Problem: Home owners master bath overflowed due to the dogs accidentaly turning
it on while the owner was not home. This caused saturation of the subfloor
and pad in the bathroom, master bedroom, closet, upstairs hallway. The
water continued to travel affecting the drywall ceilings and upper walls
in the laudry room, 1st floor bathroom, and garage. The garage was located
just beneath the bathtub, so most of the water damage was done to the
garage ceiling.

Solution: We arrived and first pulled back the carpet in affected areas to expose
the saturated pad. The pad was extracted, bagged and then removed until
unaffected pad was reached.

We then set up drying equipment on all affected floors and rooms of the
house. The carpet was rolled back out to allow us to place fans underneath
to "float" the carpet, drying it out.

The back half of the garage ceiling drywall and insulation was removed
to get rid of the moisture trapped within it and allow airflow to the
subfloor above.

The drying took 2 days and we were able to save the carpet for the owner.

Commercial Duct Cleaning

Location: St. Louis, MS 63112

Problem: Employees of an office were complaining of a dusty work environment along
with coughing and minor illnesses.

Solution: We were called in to clean the air ducts to help the air quality of the
offices. There were multiple units all located above the drop ceiling
in various areas of the large office space.

We first came up with a plan to do the cleaning over a couple overnights
to avoid interrupting business during normal day time hours...taking care
of 3-4 units a night.

We cut access holes in the bottom of the units and hooked our vacuum machine
up to draw in any duct or contaminates which also supplies negative pressure
to ensure no dust or debris escapes into the office space. We then proceed
to clean the duct work with compressed air using various air rods and
whips. Once complete, the access holes are sealed up and we moved to the
next unit.
